[SOLVED] You guys are gonna find this one easy!

Okay I am stuck.

 

I have a string that can change it's a domain name:

 

$string = "http://www.w3.org";

 

or it could be

 

 

$string = "http://lists.w3.org";

 

or even

 

$string = "http://docs.google.com";

 

so what I need to do in PHP is extract the domain (w3.org or google.com or whatever) from the string.

 

Maybe something to do with grabbing the two words either side of the last dot or something, but I am stuck.

 

Any help appreciated. - Code example even better!! ;-)

parse_url that should work for you.

I am not sure if parse_url will seperate the sub domain from domain name..

 

u may try the following code.

 

$string = "http://www.w3.org";
$arrTemp = explode(".", $string);
$strDomainName = $arrTemp[count($arrTemp)-2].".".$arrTemp[count($arrTemp)-1];
echo $strDomainName;
